    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Mbagathi District Hospital is not in a deplorable state. However, it has buildings that require frequent maintenance due to their age and design. The windows in the wards are of the louvers design and the glasses occasionally fall off and break in the course of being handled by patients. The hospital replaces them on continuous basis. All windows are also fitted with curtains. (b) The Ministry is implementing a programme of renovation and upgrading of the hospital. Recent works that have been completed and some with support from development partners include construction and equipping of an operating theater; extension of the pediatric out-patient section; construction and equipping of a kitchen; tarmacking of the access road; renovation of the comprehensive care clinic; expansion of the x-ray department; renovation of the old kitchen to become a physiotherapy department; renovation of resident blocks for doctors; general renovation of special clinics, out-patient departments and pharmacy; and, construction of a 30-body mortuary. The Ministry is in the process of procuring coolers. In the current Financial Year, 2011/2012, the Ministry is constructing a maternity unit at the hospital at a cost of Kshs20 million. This will address congestion in the existing facility originally, a general ward. Tendering will be done shortly. Other improvements will be carried out as funds become available."
